Structures and Properties of 1,2,3-Triazoles and 1,2,4-Triazoles

1 INTRODUCTION In the energetic material field, extensive attention was paid to insensitive compounds possessing not only high energetic density but also good stability. Previous studies[1] have shown that some small mo- lecular compounds such as azoles are good candi- dates for excellent explosives. For example, explo- sives containing triazole rings have the advantages of less molecular weight, high nitrogen content and density, good thermal stability, low impact sensiti- vity and large …     

Accurate prediction of thermodynamic properties of alkyl peroxides by combining density functional theory calculation with least-square calibration

Owing to the significance in kinetic modeling of the oxidation and combustion mechanisms of hydrocarbons, a fast and relatively accurate method was developed for the prediction of Delta(f)H(298)(o) of alkyl peroxides. By this method, a raw Delta(f)H(298)(o) value was calculated from the optimized geometry and vibration frequencies at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level and then an accurate Delta(f)H(298)(o) value was obtained by a least-square procedure. The least-square procedure is a six-parameter linear equation and is validated by a leave-one out technique, giving a cross-validation squared correlation coefficient q(2) of 0.97 and a squared correlation coefficient of 0.98 for the final model. Calculated results demonstrated that the least-square calibration leads to a remarkable reduction of error and to the accurate Delta(f)H(298)(o) values within the chemical accuracy of 8 kJ mol(-1) except (CH(3))(2)CHCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)OOH which has an error of 8.69 kJ mol(-1). Comparison of the results by CBS-Q, CBS-QB3, G2, and G3 revealed that B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) in combination with a least-square calibration is reliable in the accurate prediction of the standard enthalpies of formation for alkyl peroxides. Standard entropies at 298 K and heat capacities in the temperature range of 300-1500 K for alkyl peroxides were also calculated using the rigid rotor-harmonic oscillator approximation.     

多溴二苯并呋喃的热力学性质和稳定性的密度泛函理论研究

在B3LYP/6-31G*水平上对二苯并呋喃和135个多溴二苯并呋喃系列化合物(PBDF)进行了全优化计算和振动分析, 得到各分子的总能量(E_T)、焓(H⁰)、熵(S⁰)、自由能(G⁰)和恒容热容(C_V⁰), 研究了这些参数与溴原子的取代数目及取代位置的关系. 溴原子置换在不同位置时, 使E_T, H⁰和G⁰数值增加大小次序为: 1(9)＞3(7)＞2(8)＞4(6), 即置换在1(9)位最不稳定; 两个溴原子处在同一苯环时, E_T, H⁰和G⁰数值也都增加, 增加的顺序为: 邻>>间＞对, 即相互处于邻位最不稳定. 而且有两个溴原子同时取代在1和9位时, 使H⁰和G⁰的数值的增加比取代在邻位、间位和对位时的增加值都大. 每增加1个溴原子, S⁰增大约40.1 J•mol^－1•K^－1, C_V⁰增大约16.3 J•mol^－1•K^－1. 同时, 设计等键反应, 计算了各异构体的标准生成热(H_f⁰)和标准生成自由能(G_f⁰). 根据异构体自由能的相对大小, 从理论上求得异构体的相对稳定性顺序, 各异构体组中的稳定性顺序与PCDF系列的稳定性顺序基本一致.

Thermodynamic Properties and Relative Stability of Polyhydroxylated Dibenzo-p dioxins Calculated by Density Functional Theory

In this work, partial thermodynamic properties of polyhydroxylated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PHODDs) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) with the Gaussian 03 program at the B3LYP/6-311G** level. By comparing the total energy Eθ values, it is found that two types of hydrogen bonds exist in PHODDs, one between a hydroxyl and the parent compound (dibenzop-dioxin) with bond energy of approximate 15.7 kJ/mol and the other between two ortho hydroxyl groups with higher bond energy of about 18.3 kJ/mol. Hydrogen bonds have an effect on the conformation stability. On the basis of evaluating the strength of these two types of hydrogen bonds, 75 most stable congeners are ascertained. The relations of calculated thermodynamic parameters (total energy Eθ, zero-point vibrational energy ZPE, correction value of thermal energy Ethθ, heat capacity at constant volume CVθ) with the number and position of hydroxyl substitution (NPHOS) are also discussed. The results show that the NPHOS models can be used to predict the thermodynamic properties for PHODD congeners. In addition, the values of molar heat capacities at constant pressure (Cp,m) from 200 to 1000 K for PHODD congeners are calculated, and the temperature dependence relation of Cp,m is obtained with the least-squares method.     

Relative Thermodynamic Stabilities of Isomeric Dimethyl Acetals Derived from 2-Acetyltetrahydrofuran. An Experimental and Computational Study

In the presence of an acid catalyst, the dimethyl acetal of 2-acetyltetrahydrofuran (1) is converted into a mixture of three isomeric acetals composed of the reactant and two diastereomers of 2-methoxy-2-(1-methoxyethyl)tetrahydrofuran (2). The relative thermodynamic stabilities of these acetals have now been determined by chemical equilibration. The least stable isomer is 1, in the liquid phase 4–6 kJ mol^–1 less stable than the two diastereomers. The geometry-optimized structures and relative energies of the title compounds were also studied by theoretical calculations (ab initio and DFT). Comparison of the theoretically determined relative stabilities of the diastereomers with the corresponding experimental data suggests the more volatile (and more stable) diastereomer to exist as a racemic mixture of the (R,S) and (S,R) configurations.     

Dielectric effect on thermodynamic properties in vinblastine by DFT/Onsager modelling

We know that vinblastine, as one of the vinca alkaloids, has played a major role in cancer chemotherapy by inhibiting the polymerisation of tubulin into microtubules. We present an in-depth investigation of the structural, infrared (IR) spectra of vinblastine. The structure of vinblastine is theoretically investigated using the density functional theory and Hartree–Fock levels of theory with the standard 6-31g* and 6-31g** basis sets. The vibrational spectral data obtained from IR spectra are assigned modes based on the results of the theoretical calculations as intensity and frequency curves. The fundamental vibrational modes were characterised depending on the stability of vinblastine in different dielectric constants. Thermodynamic analysis of data demonstrates good correlation of vinblastine at various media by SCRF–Onsager model with linear coefficient (R ²). Thus, the goal of this article is to evaluate and quantify the molecular basis for vinblastine structure in variant positions.     

Effect of GTP and GDP nucleotides on vinblastine binding affinity to tubulin: a DFT study

Vinblastine (VLB) is an anticancer agent that inhibits microtubule assembly by binding with tubulin. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to examine low-energy minima of the energy surface of vinblastine-tubulin complex. Thermodynamic data of the binding site of vinblastine to tubulin are extracted with the hybrid DFT (B3LYP (Becke, three-parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr)) method, and then the influence of several solvents, such as water, methanol and ethanol, and different temperatures are discussed on infrared parameters by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF = dipole) method. The effect of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) nucleotides on vinblastine binding affinity to tubulin was realised in water solvent by comparing the changes of ?G (Gibbs free energy) of VLB-tubulin and VLB-tubulin bonded to GTP or GDP. The result showed that GDP and GTP increase significantly the binding affinity and the role of GDP is more important than that of GTP.     

DFT study on cooperativity in the interactions of hydrazoic acid clusters

Density functional theory at the B3LYP level with the 6‐311G** basis set is performed to calculate the systems consisting of up to four hydrazoic acid molecules. The dimers are found to exhibit cyclic and chain structures with N … H contacts at ca. 2.1–2.7 Å. However, there are only cyclic structures with N … H contacts at ca. 2.0–2.3 Å and 2.0–2.1 Å in the trimer and tetramer, respectively. Hydrogen bond distances in the trimer and tetramer are shorter than those in the cyclic dimer as a result of the stronger interaction between molecules. The contribution of cooperative effect to the interaction energy is significant. After the correction of the basis set superposition error and zero‐point energy, the binding energies are ?10.69, ?29.34, and ?54.26 kJ·mol^?1 for the most stable dimer, trimer, and tetramer, respectively. The calculated IR shifts for N? H stretching mode increase with the size of the cluster growths, reaching more than 200 cm^?1 in the tetramer. For the most stable clusters, the transition from the monomer to dimer, dimer to trimer, and trimer to tetramer involve changes of ?14.40, ?25.68, and ?31.88 kJ·mol^?1 for the enthalpies at 298.15 K and 1atm, respectively. We also perform Mulliken populations analysis and find the Mulliken populations on intermolecular N … H increasing in the sequence of the dimer, trimer, and tetramer. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A combined computational and experimental approach for investigating a hydrogen‐bonded supermolecular compound comprising benzimidazole and malonic acid

A hydrogen‐bonded tetramer supramolecular motif of 2:2 benzimidazole (BIZ) and malonic acid (MLA) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and X‐ray single crystal diffraction. Thermal stability analyses demonstrate that this supramolecular adduct is a new material and it is not the ordinary superposition of the original monomers. Density function theory (DFT) calculations for the models of dimers, trimers, and tetramer comprising BIZ and MLA have been carried out at B3LYP/6‐31G* and PBE1PBE/6‐31G* levels of theory, respectively. By comparing the calculated results with the experiments (single crystal structure, IR spectra, and thermal analysis) and based on the statistic thermodymnamic calculations, it is concluded that the dimers cannot exist at room temperature and the tetramer can simulate the title supramolecular complex better than the two trimers. Further studies on the model of tetramer indicate that the hydrogen bond of N···H? O is stronger than that of O···H? N. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008

Band gap narrowing of TiO2 by compensated codoping for enhanced photocatalytic activity

In this study,we have performed first-principles screened exchanged hybrid density function theory with the HSE06 function calculations of the C-Mo,C-W,N-Nb and N-Ta codoped anatase TiO 2 systems to investigate the effect of codoping on the electronic structure of TiO 2.The calculated results demonstrate that(W(s)+C(s)) codoped TiO 2 narrows the band gap significantly,and have little influence on the position of conduction band edges,therefore,enhances the efficiency of the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water and the photodegradation of organic pollutants.Moreover,the proper oxygen pressure and temperature are two key factors during synthesis which should be carefully under control so that the desired(W(s)+C(s)) codoped TiO 2 can be obtained.     

Interactions of the “piano‐stool” [ruthenium(II) (η6‐arene)(en)CL]+ complexes with water and nucleobases; ab initio and DFT study

Piano stool ruthenium complexes of the composition [Ru(II)(η⁶‐arene)(en)Cl]^+/2+ (en = ethylenediamine) represent an emerging class of cisplatin‐analogue anticancer drug candidates. In this study, we use computational quantum chemistry to characterize the structure, stability and reactivity of these compounds. All these structures were optimized at DFT(B3LYP)/6‐31G(d) level and their single point properties were determined by the MP2/6‐31++G(2df,2pd) method. Thermodynamic parameters and rate constants were determined for the aquation process, as a replacement of the initial chloro ligand by water and subsequent exchange reaction of aqua ligand by nucleobases. The computations were carried out at several levels of DFT and ab initio theories (B3LYP, MP2 and CCSD) utilizing a range of bases sets (from 6‐31G(d) to aug‐cc‐pVQZ). Excellent agreement with experimental results for aquation process was obtained at the CCSD level and reasonable match was achieved also with the B3LYP/6‐31++G(2df,2pd) method. This level was used also for nucleobase‐water exchange reaction where a smaller rate constant for guanine exchange was found in comparison with adenine. Although adenine follows a simple replacement mechanism, guanine complex passes by a two‐step mechanism. At first, Ru‐O6(G) adduct is formed, which is transformed through a chelate TS2 to the Ru‐N7(G) final complex. In case of guanine, the exchange reaction is more favorable thermodynamically (releasing in total by about 8 kcal/mol) but according to our results, the rate constant for guanine substitution is slightly smaller than the analogous constant in adenine case when reaction course from local minimum is considered. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
